It was the seat of the prince bishops, a military headquarters for the defence of the northern borders of England, a centre for pilgrimages to the shrine of St Cuthbert and the principal market town for the region. After tracing Durham's late tenth-century origins, the book examines the subsequent developments in religious and military building work on the peninsula which accompanied the growth of a successful urban community in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. This section of the book is complemented by the reproduction of all the extant medieval plans for Durham in an appendix, which also includes later maps of the town and several illustrations which help to explain the complex topography. Furthermore, although at first sight Durham's overlords might seem oppressive, there is little evidence of the townsmen's dissatisfaction with their rule, and none of urban revolt in late medieval Durham. 517 3 $aLordship & the Urban Community 606 $aFeudalism$zEngland$zDurham$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aFeudalism$zEngland$zDurham$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aLand tenure$zEngland$zDurham$xHistory 606 $aNobility$zEngland$zDurham$xHistory 607 $aDurham (England)$xHistory 615 0$aFeudalism$xHistory 615 0$aFeudalism$xHistory 615 0$aLand tenure$xHistory. 615 0$aNobility$xHistory. 676 $a942.8/65 700 $aBonney$b Margaret$0294143 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996247919503316 996 $aLordship and the urban community$92404537 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
